Non-DVC Children taking up our spots!

Apparently not funny to some!! I got banished from the Trip Reports board for a while, until I chatted with one of the WebMasters. (Alex, a cool guy) It seems there are a number of folks on here with zero sense of humor. Granted my posts WERE a bit over-the-top. Maybe we'll have to start a new forum for those who like things-Disney, but don't go around with the proverbial hair across their..ummm....rectum.

If you get a chance, go to the Trip Reports section, read the well written posts by joedisney (a friend of mine). Then read some of the overflowingly gushy, warm and fuzzy responses he was getting. They're so sweet, I got a cavity just by reading them. I mean, this was just crying out for some negative humor!

LOL. Agreed! I don't mind the outpour of joy and happiness, but sometimes it gets to the point of a cult response when you post something negative or differ in your opinion. The only thing I can say to those people is "RELAX!"

I think that instead of trying to ban non-DVC children from Our Resorts, we should make use of them. We could post them at all of the entrances to the buildings to make sure that no one takes extra towels from the pool back to their room, thus raising dues(!!!) for all of Us.

With a little creativity and Disney Magic, I think we can turn these intruders into an asset, instead of the drain on resources and impediment to getting Our desired reservations that they are now.

Another good point. I think we can use both approaches. Smaller non-DVC kids should be given the electro-cuffs, since they would not be much use to us. We could allow the older ones into the resort for towel security, as well as other menial chores in and around the World. I was thinking a system to balance out the lack of Fast Pass on some of the rides in the parks. For example, we all know the line for the Dumbo ride can get obscenely long and it doesn't have Fast Pass. We could implement a system where a pool of these older non-DVC children could be corralled into an area next to the ride. DVC members could select one of them to stand in line for the hour or so, holding our place. Also, getting wet on Splash Mountain is fun. Getting the seat of your pants soaked through to your underwear, before the ride even starts because some clown stomped his wet sneaker on the seat, is not. Use those non-DVC kids as seat wipers, I say. And how many times have we had to truck our tired butts over to Olivia's at OKW or down to ESPN at the BWV for a snack, after you've returned "home" from a long day of Park hopping? Those non-DVC kids have legs...use them as delivery persons....and the kicker is, we won't even have to tip them!!

I'm sorry if I offend the posters, but something about this thread makes me uncomfortable. I understood the original tongue-in-cheek humor, but fear it has taken a turn for the worse. Maybe if you were to 'joke' about abusing the parents rather than the children... Naw, either way, this isn't funny IN MY OPINION.

(And, I'm already relaxed, so no need to tell me to do so. Thanks anyways.)

Just curious if I'm the only one who feels this way.... (And again, I am not trying to offend those of you who find this funny.... Really!)
 
Don't worry, I don't think anyone will read this and actually go buy electro cuffs. :)

I don't know that it's meant to be "funny ha-ha." It's more Swiftian in tone. A Modest Proposal.

Not only not funny, ckr, but sick.

No offense, of course.
 
ttsui01: Yes, but what about those that seem like they may already own a pair or two? (I really gotta figure out how to put the winky smiley thing in here!!)

synonomous: Well, that explains it! It's been said I'm not very 'swift' sometimes.....
 
CKR- I didn't used to be, either, but then my parents put me in electro-cuffs for a year or two and it did wonders for me.

The only side-effect was my "sick" sense of humor.

LOL...I was locked in a windowless room for 2 years before I was let out. I had to talk to myself quite a bit to keep myself busy.

ttsui01- I don't think we have a "Disney-style" sense of humor. Maybe we should try the Universal Vacation Club.

Okay, perhaps I'm one of those people with 'hair across their rectum" as you so elequoently put it, but having worked with abused children at one point, I can not find any humor in this, no matter what the intent. You are correct in that you should consider finding another forum where humor like this is more appreciated. Based on the complaints I'm getting, it's not welcome here, and after reading the thread, I'm forced to agree. I'm locking this thread because it serves no real purpose, and in my opinion, is a lousy waste of bandwidth.
